Ablen
Appearance
Dark hair. Brown Eyes. An imposing build. A Malevolent expression. These are features which describe the Horselord of the Steppes. Ablen looks at others like a predator waiting to feed unless they've earned his respect through a skill of arms or a show of force at which point his gaze becomes more cautionary while retaining a feral danger about it. His skin is tanned and leathery from years living on the Steppe, his hands calloused from holding the reins of his mount or the hilt of his sword.
Skills and Abilities
Sword and Bow - He's used a sword and a bow since he was old enough to walk. On the Steppe if you don't have the skill to defend yourself or kill your enemies you quickly become a corpse. With a Sword he's a skilled duelist, capable of agile movements and minor acrobatics. A Bow in his hand is an extension of his arm, he can fire from horseback as well as on his feet without difficulty.
The Horselord- As one of the Attilan of the Taagi Baara Steppes he has spent as much time in the saddle as he has on his feet. He can ride, for days on end as long as his mount is capable. To fall from any horse would mean embarrassment or disgrace.
Hunting and tracking - He can track man or beast across the Steppe as well as through other environments. It would take a skilled Ranger who knew how to cover their tracks to lose him in the wilderness.

Personality
Anyone who is not Attilan is an outsider. If they have not proven themselves they are little better than a slave and lesser than those of the Steppe, it is known. Those who have proven themselves should be treated with respect but not comraderie, that too must be earned. Friendship is rare if it even exists.
Biography & Lore
Born on the Steppe during a night when the stars were bright overheard the birth of Ablen to his tribe was considered auspicious and he was groomed to lead his people. As a child he challenged his environment, the other children, his teachers. He learned the sword and the bow with vigor, slaying one of the youths he had trained with during the Blooding, a coming of age ceremony.
As an adult Ablen is a proven horselord and has risen to be the Oru of a Hundred, leading his brethren in raids against the caravans that attempt to cross the Steppe. He strives towards greater challenges, greater acts of violence against the outsiders that attempt to cross his land yet his eyes also look outwards towards conquest knowing that if all Attilan joined together in a great Horde they might overrun the world.
